Subject: Why did I read this?
Tedious log of twenty years hitching. There is good info here but....

From the story, "I didn't know what kind of reaction I would get from Kathleen. She shook her head and smiled at me. I kept thinking that this was some sort of miracle. I didn't write to her to tell her I was coming."

Tim, you went to her apartment door without even letting her know you were coming. So you see her on the sidewalk. That's not exactly a miracle. You were in her neighborhood.

Tim, it's twenty years later now and you are still blindly following this "holy ghost" that has you hitching back and forth across the plains. Twenty years. You've called out plenty of others, the church in Jackson for one. But I have seen you at the supper table greedily feeding and then you tell me that you are selfless. Maybe this "holy ghost" isn't as holy as you thought.

Okay Tim which is the key factor here for hitching, the cleanliness or the Lord? From the story, "I like to keep my hair short and my clothes clean. There were times when my clothes did get ragged, but eventually the Lord would provide through another person and I would get another pair of pants or a sweatshirt. The key to hitchhiking is having a relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ. He provides for His followers."

Tim, there are treatments for delusional disorder. Get yourself an SSDI check and rent a small apartment in your favorite Montana town. You're not getting any younger.
